Description
Small Saturday barbecue, grill going and neighbours drifting over, this 2LP 45RPM cut of Matt Andersen & The Big Bottle of Joy’s The Big Bottle of Joy carries the room with ease. Andersen’s rasp plays off a jubilant horn section and stacked harmonies, landing somewhere between roadhouse blues and Sunday-morning gospel. The call-and-response hook on Let It Slide shows the band’s pocket; later, the closing rave-up lets the organ and tambourine take the reins.
Pressed at 45, the low end sits deeper and the imaging opens up, so the choir and brass feel life-size rather than crowded. Turn it up and the celebration grows rather than collapses.
It belongs on the shelf next to Tedeschi Trucks Band, but the songs lean a touch more Atlantic-soul than jam, which suits a Melbourne lounge just fine. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Matt Andersen records online with us.
Session players here sound like an honest-to-goodness band, and that’s the appeal, warm, human, unhurried, built for repeat spins and easy gatherings. Whether you’re new to him or upgrading from streaming, this edition makes the case for the album as a full-arc listen. Sequencing flows cleanly from burners to ballads without fluff.
Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
